MR. J. F. MILLER ON THE METEOROLOGY OF THE LAKE 
I regret that my endeavours to obtain the monthly extremes of temperature on the 
summit of Sea Fell Pike have hitherto failed. 
The indications for 1849 are apparently so erroneous, that I cannot place any de- 
pendence upon them. The instruments are slightly inclined in the box, which is 
riddled with small circular holes, and it is supposed that strong currents of air pass- 
ing through them have shaken the thermometers, and caused the indices to descend 
in the tubes. The instruments are now fastened in the case, and I hope to secure 
correct readings during the current year.
